How do I apply italics to any text between asterisk symbols and then have the asterisks removed?

Please help!

Sorry - GREP is new. Like this? (\*)($2)(\*)? Not working for me.
My workaround is to add another GREP style with a new character style with colour turned off called invisible, haha.
As Peter mentioned, GREP styles cannot remove text, which is why he assumed you were using Find/Change.
The "invisible" trick may still work for you, though. You need to set the text color to [None] but also set its size to 0.1 pt, which is as small as InDesign allows. A single character such as your '*' then is as invisible as possible.
See http://indesignsecrets.com/using-grep-styles-to-format-html-code-in-indesign.php for a longer writeup, which uses the same trick to hide HTML.

    in iPhoto, I want to copy certain photos in an event and then have the copies in another event WITHOUT removing the original photos from their original event; how to do that?

    The only way to do that is to export the image to a new file and then re-import it.
    It's not really the intended way of working as it uses twice the disk space and is inefficient.
    Use Albums instead. A Photo can be in any number of albums and use no extra disk space as it just simply references the image in the Library. Albums can be sorted any way you want - including manaually - and can have image from anywhere in the Library just by drag and drop.

  • How do I move an object from one photo to another and then change the scene, i.e.  winter to sum?

    How do I move an object from one photo to another and then change the scene, i.e.  winter to summer?

    OK.
    Open the picture with the new scene. This will be your canvas.
    Open the picture with object A, select it with one of the selection tools, go to Edit>copy
    Go back to the new scene/canvas, Go to Edit>paste
    Repeat for object B
    Use the move tool to position A & B, each on its own layer. Use the corner handles of the bounding box to resize, if necessary
    You should have 3 layers: Background layer, and the 2 layers with A & B
    Note: It's best if the resolution of the 3 picture files is the same value.

  • How do I get a song to start AND THEN have the video start later?

    I have been pulling my hair out trying to have a song play to a black screen for a few seconds, and then have the video fade in. I've tried beat markers, but it looks like the very start of an audio clip IS a beat marker so the video clip always align to the start of the song. DO I need to add a blank title or black footage?

    yes add black footage or any footage and dial back the colors to none.

  • How do I set Catalogue to new larger internal hard drive and then delete the files from the smaller

    I have just had a new 1TB internal hard drive installed in my PC and then the original smaller internal 500GB hard drive cloned onto it. The new 1TB is now Local Dick C and the smaller 500GB has been changed from C and is now Local Disk F. PSE11 is running from the new C and all my pictures are on both C and F but the catalogue is pointing to F. I want to delete all of the old files on F to free up space since they are all cloned to the new 1TB C, so I want the PSE11 catalogue to point only to the pictures on C. I have tried creating a new Catalogue and importing my pictures from C. The images come in and look connected to C but, when I close PSE11 and then reopen that new catalogue, the image path reads F, as does the original catalogue. So, now I have two catalogues apparently point to F but I want to: 1) have only one catalogue pointing to C; 2) the delete catalogues pointing to F; 3) then reformat F: so I have a clean 500GB old hard drive for future expansion. Can some please help?

    Grant, all I can say is that another user was having almost identical issues a month or so ago. Unfortunately I cannot find the discussion thread now but my feeling is that it never resolved satisfactorily while both drives were connected.
    To save you a lot of work formatting, copying, erasing and so forth why not just unplug the SATA cable from the old drive and see if the Organizer then starts behaving nicely with the new drive. If it does then you can go the destructive route on the old drive.
    Hopefully the poster who had the similar problem might read this and update us on his/her situation - if it got resolved and how.

  • How can I attach comments to a photo in iPhoto '11 and then have it show when I forwarded it via email?

    I'd like to send photos to friends with comments comments about the photo. How can I do that? I'm using iPhoto '11 with Leopard.

    Depends...
    Most easy: simply attach the pic to an email and write the comments in the email
    Most complex: Use the Description field in the Info Pane to write you comments, export the shot (File -> Export), checking the box at 'Titles and Keywords', and then email that. But be aware that the comment will be written to the IPTC metadata and the receiver at the other end will need an app that understands that.

    Good question - and one that a lot of (business) people would like solved!
    Your question prompted me to do some research, and I found this workaround posted by Scott Grossberg:
    His solution actually addresses a second problem too - how to attach a document when replying to an email message. In your case you may not need to consider the "reply" aspect - but if not right now, it'll come in useful someday!
    I've pasted it verbatim - if it works for you (it does for me) then all credit goes to Scott for solving the problem. There's just one thing I'd add to his solution: you will probably want to rename the message, as by default Goodreader gives it the Subject line: Mail with GoodReader attachments.
    THE GOODREADER OPTION
    1.  CREATE the document you want to send.
    2.  SAVE it to GoodReader (this will require you to buy and install the app).
    3.  Go to your email and OPEN the email thread to which you want to Reply and attach your file.
    4.  COMPOSE your Reply.
    5.  DOUBLE TAP the message.
    6.  TAP SELECT ALL. This will copy the entire email thread.
    7.  OPEN GOODREADER on the iPad and go to the file you want to send as part of your Reply.
    8.  At the bottom of the GoodReader screen you will see an EXPORT icon (it looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing to the right).
    9.  TAP the Export button.
    10.  TAP EMAIL FILE. Depending on your needs, tap either SEND FILE “AS IS” or “FLATTEN ANNOTATIONS.” This will open a compose message screen with the chosen document already attached.
    11.  TAP in the body of the email screen. TAP PASTE. This will place your composed Reply and the prior email thread into the message.
    12.  ENTER the Recipients’ names in the TO: field of your message.
    13.  SEND your email Reply.
    The modified version (= when composing a new message rather than a reply):
    1 Make sure that the doc you want to attach is saved in GoodReader
    2 In the message you are composing, double tap, select all, and then copy.
    3 Open GoodReader and select the file you want to attach
    4 Select the export button at the bottom of screen
    5 Select e-mail file
    6 Position cursor in body of the email message, tap and paste. You may want to delete the "sent from GoodReader" text that precedes the attachment.
    7 Rename your message (as by default it will be Mail with GoodReader attachments)
    8 Add the recipient's address in the To field.
    Hope this helps! All thanks to Scott for this workaround.

  • How do i read a text file and then display the content as a string

    I also would like to strip the string from a certain substring and convert the remaining string into an array of floating point numbers. I was thinking of using the read from spreadsheet vi but I'm not exactly sure if that is going to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Here is what I have so far. What I am trying to do is to display the text file as a string and then strip the "curve" from the text file. I think I did this successfully. Now I want to convert the remaining string into an array of floating point numbers, and display the numbers into an array and on a waveform graph.

    Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
    Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
    , so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
    No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
    Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
    Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
    Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
    They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice.

    Oh no! I'm sorry to see there's a lot of confusion here and data shared, x-rayDon. We can definitely work to fix. This happens when two devices share the same Apple ID, so she will need to reset hers. She can do so by assessing this link Apple - My Apple ID. You will need to decide who will keep the account if want separate Apple IDs since purchases cannot be shared unless you do Family Sharing.

    If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]]. Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem.

    The FireWire cable is just for the FireWire ports on the display.  The display will run without it.
